Personal reports
In order to give you an insight into the experience of spending a semester abroad, students of the Institute of Linguistics and Literary Studies provide reports that they wrote during or after their stay abroad. Please note that these are always subjective personal reports – and there might be significant differences in the way certain things are seen by individual people and depending on the respective cultural background. At the beginning of each report, the students introduce themselves and describe their reasons and motivations for a semester abroad.
